Cecil B. Demented Ratings & Reviews
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Mildly scabrous.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Waters' outlaw analyses of pop culture, always a crucial part of his films, have now started to consume them.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A fast, furious and funny fusillade of a movie.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
An insufferable, self-important, sloppily made bore of a tirade.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Not even the reassuring familiarity of the Waters stock company (including Mink Stole, Ricki Lake and, pointedly in this case, Patty Hearst) is enough to fully redeem this effort.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
The problem with John Waters making a movie about the sorry state of commercial cinema is that his output is only a little more useful than what he's satirizing.
Film.com
Robert Horton
A small, scruffy, but agreeably energized comedy.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
The film can't sustain its initial high attack, and ends up seeming a bit of a fizzle, mischievous rather than genuinely wild.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
It's sad to report that the only remotely shocking thing about [Cecil B. Demented] is the heavy-handedness of its humor and the blunt ineffectiveness of its diatribes.
Newsday
John Anderson
Cecil ... is far from demented enough.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Barely coherent mishmash.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A losing battle.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
Where once Waters was brilliantly polluted, now he comes off diluted.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Waters' writing has never been sharper or more focused than in Cecil B. Demented.
Film.com
Ernest Hardy
Hamstrung by a script that is too often smug, obvious and self-important -- all qualities that Waters used to lampoon mercilessly.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
An audacious little comedy with bursts of hilarity and a certain giddy energy.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie has a radical premise ... but pitches it at the level of a very bad sketch on Saturday Night Live.
Associated Press
David Germain
Ends up a sloppy exercise in irritating audiences instead of the sharp satire the story line promises.
